Scalia was nominated to replace him as an Associate Justice at the same time and was more or less a sideshow.

He was certainly considered a conservative at the time but did not have nearly the history of controversial writings that Bork had (Reagan chose Scalia over Bork at the time largely for that reason but also others like he was younger, would be the first Italian-American, etc.)
